[TUHS] Control-T in UNIX

[Arnold Robbins via TUHS]

It was indeed posted to USENET, but didn't (IIRC) make it into the
official 4.3 BSD release.

Scott Lee and I put it in to 4.2 BSD at Georgia Tech, and I think I
put it into 4.3BSD + Mt. Xinu at Emory.

At GT, I remember a professor who came from MIT being pleasantly
surprised to learn that we had ^T on the vax. :-)
